The BBC owns 585,000 sq metres of property space across the UK – in 483 locations, with about 100 buildings relating to broadcasting – and is in the process of moving a number of operations to Salford and rationalising locations in London.

They go through the same process of rationalising what they do with the expectations of others.
The understanding of the structural effects of iron in amorphous systems is of primary importance in the design of technological glasses and for rationalising the dynamic properties of volcanic processes and glass formation.
Thus, it is necessary for the pharmaceutical industry to rationalise the development process to minimise the costs of developing new agents, while at the same time accelerating drug development and minimising patient exposure to ineffective drugs/doses.
To our knowledge, the use of EIT in the determination of the dynamic process of air-trapping in patients with small airway disease has not been used before, although its use in this disease condition can be rationalised.
